Mark,
I wanted to make a baseball bat pen but did not want to turn a slimline into a baseball bat, although I did and I'll post a picture if you want to see it. I searched and this is the only pen I found. I ordered it from poolewood machinery in the UK. Here is the link
http://www.poolewood.co.uk/acatalog/Baseball_Bat_Pen_Kit.html
They sent me the wrong mandrel so I devised my own way to turn the pens. If you order some and want to know how I made the pens I will be happy to share what I learned with you. After I made about 30 of these pens I stumbled onto a website that showed how to make them. But since I did not have the proper mandrel I continued to make them using my method. But this link will show you how the pen is made and what the kit looks like. The price on poolewood's website is for a pkg of 5 kits. Works out to about $3.50-$4.00 per kit. Woodchuckers in canada has been reported to have these kits but they are not on their site and I have not called them. The kits from the UK get here in about 7 days. They ship via the postoffice. check out this link...look on the right hand column at the bottom at closed end baseball bat pens.

Good luck and if I can be of any help let me know.
Do a good turn daily!

What kind of pen is that and how exactly did you manage the outcome?
